Foden Property in short

Foden Property is a Telford sales and lettings agent at St James House on Hollinswood Road. The company behind it, Foden Property (Lawley) Limited, has been on the company record since 2013. Managed and let-only packages are published with VAT-inclusive set-up fees, a monthly rate and named extras — the clearest landlord pricing in this round. A property search with valuation booking runs from the site, and client reviews sit on the homepage beside it.

Customer reviews are respectable, at 4.6 from 109 Google reviews. NAEA and ARLA Propertymark membership with client money protection is stated on the why-use-us page, with redress on the register. Our view is that Foden Property suits Telford landlords who want fees on the page — though placeholder copy on the homepage weakens the presentation.
